Electrical Applications
Electricity(from the Greek word ἤλεκτρον, (elektron), meaning amber, and finally from New Latin ēlectricus, "amber-like") is a general term referring to effects due to electric charges and their flow.. These include lightning, static electricity, electrical technology and electronics as well as less familiar concepts such as the electromagnetic field and electromagnetic induction.

Electronics on the other hand refers to devices based on controlled motion of electrons through different media and vacuum. Electronics is different from electrical science and technology, which deals with the generation, distribution, control and application of electrical power.

The electrical/electronic (E/E) end use market is the world’s third largest market for plastics, following packaging and building/construction, with applications ranging from miniature connectors to large electronic device housings. Thermoplastics, thermosets and composites are all significantly used in the E/E sector. Without plastics, most of the electronic products used today would not be practical or economical. Plastics have been fundamental to electronic progress for decades, housing electronics, insulating components from all types of interference, protecting parts and protecting the users as well. (D.V.

Organic Ambipolar Conjugated Molecules for Electronics: Synthesis and Structure–Property Relationships
(2007–2034) Macromolecular Rapid Communications 31 #23 (2010)
Jiang of the Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications and Fudan University, China showed that the unique properties of organic semiconductor are largely based on the versatility to synthesize multifunctional organic conjugated materials by judicious molecular design. To effectively adjust the optoelectronic properties, especially energy levels, of organic semiconductor, a synthesis methodology is used of organic ambipolar conjugated molecules, in which typical p-dope type and n-dope type segments are incorporated into one molecule.
